"WordGrinder is a simple, Unicode-aware word processor that runs in a terminal. It supports basic paragraph styles, character styles, just enough screen markup to be useful, and is driven via an easy to use menu interface. "

Ok well I was bored and wanted to see something I haven't seen before. A terminal word processor, well i guess it would be ok for people who have one-bone puppy linux, or something, I even made a menu listing and used the "Grub worm" for the icon lol
Anyways enjoy and if anybody actually like this program please send a line or 2.
thanks

to start it type wordgrinder2 in a terminal or use menu/document/wordgrinder

You da man here. I don't know how difficult to re-position, but it is a little odd that the cursor places itself in the screen's middle, rather than the top (that may be a programer's favorite position, I wouldn't know--or else I'm doing something completely asinine upon start-up).

edit: on further thought, since there's no drop-down menu (the screen becomes the menu), maybe that's where the cursor must begin.

Ok here's a newer version that supports new text formats,lol
anyways install the pet, then install sakura, open sakura and right click on the desktop, set you font size, color etc. This will work with any command line application, Sakura is a great terminal, you can also change the font while running wordgrinder.

To Start:
Open Sakura and Just type wordgrinder and hit enter and it will start.
now right click on the screen and you'll have lots of sakura options

Sakura looks interesting and I'll give it a try sometime, though there are other ways of doing such magnification, even in the default Puppy terminals (I did some coding in the past to do that but I'll have to look that out). According to the info below, however, Sakura itself is (or was?) not as lightweight, in terms of process usage, as some terminal offerings.

"I didn't upload it because the current version isn't good enough. It
takes more memory than other vte-based terminals because it doesn't
share a single process for multiple terminals.
. . .
Good work. I am still interested to see a really resource saving
terminal in Debian. I didn't upload sakura into debian becaure it's
useless if it's not really saving the resources.

Please have a look there is a fork called evilvte in debian which save
more resources. And another VTE-based terminal callled lxterminal saves
more"

Might also be worth checking out http://lxde.org/ which is a lightweight desktop (uses Openbox window manager) from which lxterminal apparently comes. Parts/most of LXDE are used by Slitaz and TinyMe. See also the related threads:
